I am also disgusted whenever I hear D&D referred to as
a satanic game.  Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yes, there are many demons, devils, and other assorted evil
creatures described in the literature of the game;
they are described as abhorred beings to be feared and,
if possible, destroyed by the player characters.
D&D uses the mythos of Hell as a foundation for the struggles
between GOOD and EVIL, on the basis of "know thy enemy."
Most player characters are constrained to good,
and some to lawful good, alignments.
I have yet to play an FRP game where the player party was not
engaged in mortal combat with the minions of evil.
Isn't this the same battle as that being waged by the groups who
brand the game as a corruption of proper society?
